You have no clue what Lisp is. It's a meta-language. See below.

Lisp syntax is a meta-syntax. With lisp macros, you can easily subdue
the language syntax to your needs. I miss them a lot when I write in C.
C preprocessor is stupid. C macros are ugly and dangerous, except of
simplest cases. C syntax is too complex to have such a powerful macro
system as Lisp has.
